If you are looking for stock shot footage from the CBC in Halifax, Doug Kirby is the person to call.
"I license footage to people outside the Corporation," Kirby says.
The footage that outsiders ask for can sometimes be as general as a nice sunset. But more often people are looking for specific program elements -- specific shots or still images that are not available from any other place than a historical news library or a moving image / film & video archive.
"We're fast, we're efficient, we're friendly, we're open to negotiations, we treat people well ... and the word gets out." A treasure trove of one-of-a-kind material doesn't hurt either.
